It all happened so fast…

Big Truck Accidents Can Cause Injury or Death

Posted by: Admin on October 12, 2016

Big trucks cause big accidents for motorists—and even pedestrians. Official statistics show that one out of every eight automobile accident fatalities involve large trucks, and every 16 minutes, a crash or collision involving a big truck occurs. In most big truck accidents, liable parties that can be sued may include the driver of the truck, the commercial vehicle owner, the owner of the freight, the employer of the driver, the manufacturer of the truck cab, trailer or other truck equipment, and even third-party maintenance companies.

Curves Ahead: Navigating an Uncertain Regulatory Path in the Coming Age of Self-Driving Vehicles

Posted by: Admin on February 2, 2016

“Look, Ma – no hands!”

Chances are, a much younger you exclaimed this at high volume as your two-wheeled chariot rolled (somewhat) unsteadily down a neighborhood sidewalk one fine day. Arms extended into the air, feet pedaling madly, you grinned from ear to ear as you unburdened yourself from the tether of hand-controlled cycling. In that fleeting moment, life was good; anything was possible (including scrapped knees, unfortunately).

That was then. But soon – and some say very soon – we all may get another opportunity to proclaim our hands-free navigational prowess, because like it or not, the driverless vehicle is on its way.

Hit and Run Car Accidents

Posted by: Admin on April 10, 2015

A hit and run accident can have devastating consequences not only to the victim, but to the members of the victim's family. Recently, a 5th grade teacher from Shaker Heights was killed by a hit and run driver while he was out jogging around 5:30 pm on January 24, 2015. The driver had been stopped by the police for a traffic violation and when the police approached the vehicle the driver fled the scene. The car was found abandoned down the road from the scene of the accident and the driver had disappeared. The family was left with a great loss and many unanswered questions.

Testimonials

"I want to thank you for the excellent service you recently provided for our family!"

– Wendy, Aurora, OH

“I have been quite impressed with the compassion and understanding, as well as efficiency of communication, with every member of NRS Law Firm. This is a long process/journey, and I have found that Melissa Johnson, Attorney Nager's assistant, has helped me with the reassurance and informative updates she has given to me. I thank each of you very much for all of your assistance through this difficult passage. It is rather discouraging and disappointing to have to "fight" for the care that one should be given. Being injured, on the job, trying to assist another creates much ongoing physical pain, anxiety and stress that one has absolutely no control over. Your advocacy means more than words can say.”– Deb

For the last three years NR&S has been there for me! And before me they helped my mother win her claim! This has been a long road, and I know I have not been easy to deal with! But through thick and thin they always have had my back! I have my final pre-trial hearing today. And I just wanted to thank you all there at NR&S for all you have done for my family and me! Highly recommend!

– Angelo S., Strongsville, OH

"I would like to thank you and your staff (NRS) for their excellent work resolving my work related injury. You took a difficult case that I thought was hopeless, handled it in the most professional way and saw that I received the maximum benefits. Dealing with the BWC to get medical and monetary benefits while injured is a nightmare. It is so important to have a capable lawyer whom you trust will put your best interest first as your life and future wellbeing is at stake. You did everything a person could hope for. My family and I sincerely thank you."
